Episode: “The Mentalists”
Writers: Ben Acker and Ben Blacker
- “First time at Good Graces?” “Yes.” “Well, we’re 100% locally sourced biodynamic and you get a free affirmation with every order.” “Think I’ll source the taco joint.”
- “When was the last time you actually saw a real psychic? Pamela? Missouri?”
- “What can I get for you?” “Uh…pancakes. Side of pig. Coffee black.” “Fantastic. You are a virile manifestation of the Divine.” “What the hell did he say to me?”
- “I can see by your energies that you’re completely gentle.”
- “They’re FBI.” “Oh.” “I’m Russian, we can spot the law.”
- “I’m so glad we decided to vacation here.”
- “I read people. It’s just less ‘woo woo’ and more body language. Look at you. Longtime partners but um…lot of tension. You’re pissed. And your stressed. It’s not brain surgery.”
- “You’re looking for something.” “You’re good.”
- “We’re looking for a necklance.” “Romantic.”
- “You do know that this is the Orb of Thesulah.” “We did not know.” “Very powerful. Very rare.” “And let me guess: very expensive.” “Worth every penny.” “Well, in that case, we’ll be taking the states’ evidence discount.”
- “What’s going on?” “A murder investigation that we’d like to personally thank you for not obstructing.”
- “Went a little Mentalist on you there, didn’t he?”
- “Probably should have bent those with the power of his mind.”
- “What’s the popular theory?” “It’s a toss-up between a ghost and some sort of ogre that only attacks Russians.” “Policing Lily Dale sounds fun.” “It’s either this or Los Angeles.”
- “You see there’s fake woo-woo crap. And there’s real woo-woo crap.”
- “The X-Files is real or you just stopped talking like an FBI Agent.” “Well, um, we’re not FBI Agents.” “I need a drink.” “I support that.”
- “How many crystal balls do you figure there are in Lily Dale?” “Somewhere between fifty and all of them.”
- “That’s going to be like looking for a needle in a stack of fake needles.”
- “Phony lawman, huh?” “Yeah, because nobody can relate to phony around here.”
- “There any chance good lookin’ was watching?”
- “Her older sister, Margaret, perhaps not a natural psychic…” “So, full of crap.”
- “Do you know an Eleanor? Or an Ellen? She seems quite concerned about you. She wants to tell you…pardon me…’if you don’t tell someone how bad it really is,’ she’ll kick your ass from beyond. You have to trust someone again, eventually.”
- “We agreed.” “No, we agreed to work the case. We didn’t agree for you to be a dick the whole time.”
- “Killing Amy was not wrong. You couldn’t do it. So I did. That’s what family does. The dirty work.”
- Â “So you can be pissed all you want. But quit being a bitch.”
- “I feel naked doing this in the daylight.”
- “Geraldo’d.” “Not good.” “Never good.”
- “We’ve got to find those bones.” “So we’ve got to find the bonehead.”
- “She wrote a few books. And Imelda was on the Nate Berkus show twice so yeah, I guess they were doing pretty well.”
- “You’re not a necromancer.” “This is a Lamaze class, I swear.” “I believe you. Sorry.”
- “He goose-chased me to a friggin’ pregnant yoga class.”
- “Sorry, handsome.”
- “In the bed. They were in the bed?” “Yeah.” “Uh — I can’t believe he was boning her.” “Dean.”
- “And if you affirmate me, I’m going to punch you in the face.”
- “I can’t wait to get out of this friggin’ fortune cookie.”
- “I’m going to do uh…something outside.”
- “Wish we’d met on a better week.” “Wish I had better weeks.”
- “Answer’s hazy. Try again later.”
- “You still want to break my face?” “No. Uh not at this moment. You know what? You were right about Amy and if she was just any monster I’m not sure that I could have let her walk away. I don’t know. Maybe I’ll never know.” “So what’re you saying?” “What I’m saying is, I get why you did it. You were just trying to make sure no one else got hurt. But here’s the thing. You can’t just look me in the face and tell me you’re fine. I mean, you’re not sleeping. You drink for the record–” Here we go.” “Look, whatever, last one to preach, I know. But…just be honest with me. How are those the actions of someone who knows they did the right thing?” “You want me to be honest?” “Yeah.” “I went with my gut. And that felt right. I didn’t trust her, Sam. Ever since Cas, I’m having a hard time trusting anybody. And as far as how I’ve been acting, I don’t know. Maybe it’s because I don’t like lying to you. You know, it doesn’t feel right. So, yeah, you got me there. I’ve been uh climbing walls.” “I know how that is. Well, hey,if I’ve learned one thing from that museum: sibling acts are tough.” “Don’t compare us to that hall of crazy. We’re like the poster kids of functional family life compared to them.” “That’s a low bar.”
Supernatural airs Fridays on the CW at 9/8c.
